A 22-year-old man has been charged with the murder of Tristan Sherry at a Dublin restaurant on Christmas Eve.
Sherry, 26, was fatally stabbed and assaulted following a shooting at Browne's Steakhouse in Blanchardstown at around 8 pm on Sunday.
Michael Andrecut, with an address at Sheephill Avenue, Corduff, appeared before a special court sitting at the Criminal Courts of Justice on Saturday morning, December 30, charged with Sherry's murder.
Detective Sergeant Mark Murphy told the court that Andrecut was charged with murder at Blanchardstown Garda Station at 11:47 pm on Friday, adding that the accused made no reply when charged.
Brian Tunney, counsel for Andrecut, applied to the court for free legal aid on behalf of his client. Judge Stephanie Coggans granted the request.
Judge Coggans remanded Andrecut in custody until January 2, when he will appear before Cloverhill District Court.
